Diversity

Shrine on a street

The course is Diversity in Counseling.

Singapore is diverse.

The population is composed of:
Chinese (majority, Bhuddist)
Malaysians (Muslim)
Indians (Hindu)
Pernaken or Eurasian

All of which may be Christian, too.

Here are some pictures.

Pastor Joseph Prince

Speaking of Pastor Prince, I found this church per request of Mom's friend Susan.  It was a mega church (if you didn't guess from the photo).  He does pod casts, but he also has four churches within Singapore (I lucked out and found the one he was speaking at).  It was held at a ginormous event center (The Rock), and I escalatored up stories and stories, packed with the predominantly Chinese crowd, and when I finally saw the doors of the hall the service was being held in I was stopped by a person asking for my ticket.  A ticket.  For church.  Not that you need to pay for it, as the helpful person quickly explained, but you're supposed to register for your seat.  So, I waited in a queue (as they call lines here) and when they figured out who had not come to church that day those of us without tickets received their seats.  I lucked out and was extremely close to the front in a hall that likely held a thousand plus people.  Full.  Pastor Prince was engaging and funny, the service went at least 2.5 hours, and I kind of doubt I'll make it back.
